BizTech, Nexus Energy, the Chamber of Commerce, and AL.com don’t necessarily want you to quit your day job, but they do want to help you develop your passion.

“We have those resources here to plug into and mentors and advisors and just a whole list of resources that would be hugely beneficial for somebody who’s at home tinkering around,” Gilbreath explained.

This free event isn’t just for the left-brain, numbers kind of people. It’s also for the creatively motivated. To connect to the weekend’s creativity, no sign-up is required — just bring yourself and your aspirations.
